    hw-breakpoints: Check the breakpoint params from perf tools · fdf6bc95
    Frederic Weisbecker authored
    Perf tools create perf events as disabled in the beginning.
    Breakpoints are then considered like ptrace temporary
    breakpoints, only meant to reserve a breakpoint slot until we
    get all the necessary informations from the user.
    
    In this case, we don't check the address that is breakpointed as
    it is NULL in the ptrace case.
    
    But perf tools don't have the same purpose, events are created
    disabled to wait for all events to be created before enabling
    all of them. We want to check the breakpoint parameters in this
    case.
